Imagine you’ve thought ahead and thrown a standard deck of cards into your Bug Out Bag.  You’re on your third or fourth day of an evacuation and CANNOT play another round of Go Fish, Old Maid, or War!!!!  Print and pack a list of other games that will provide a variety for you and your kids to enjoy.
